database composed of SCIEEF™ and multi-cylinder heavy duty diesel engine exhaust emissions data being developed for North American and European diesel fuels compared to US/EPA certified reference fuels

Air Products and Chemicals Inc., Natural Resources Canada, US Department of Energy, Shell Canada Ltd., Société Général de Financement du Québec and Lambiotte et Cie SA participated in a co-operative research study performed by AET. The SCIEEF™ test rig was initially developed for use in this study as a screening tool to investigate the characteristics of small volumes of test fuel blends in terms of engine performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions.
